Westley Richards (NLR) Ref: TL179 Cartridge disclaimer states"Messrs Westley Richards & Co. will not be accountable for any cartridges made for their patent breech loading rifles unless manufactured by themselves. Each package of ten cartridges is closed up by a label having their name. A well made cartridge is absolutely necessary to secure good shooting, and also to prevent the escape of gas after the explosion. Should an escape of gas at any time escape, it will be easily observed, as it will discolour the gun-metal plunger that goes into the barrel at the back of the cartridge, and also foul the block, and underneath part of the lever on which the block is fixed. It is advisable to attend to the above directions, and should any escape of gas ever take place, either from the blowing of the gun-metal plunger or other injury, it is better to suspend shooting, and have a new plunger fitted.

It is also necessary that good caps should be used, in order to ensure ignition through the cartridge paper. Messrs Westley Richards & Co. will not be answerable for any caps unless they are of their own make." 370mm x 85mm
